Sandalwood is a highly valued, fragrant wood from trees in the genus Santalum, known for its heavy, fine-grained yellow heartwood that retains a warm, woody scent for decades. The most prized species, Indian sandalwood (Santalum album), is a small, semiparasitic evergreen tree. It is widely used in perfumery, incense, cosmetics, and medicine due to its high essential oil content. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
